CHAPTER 93
Riven stood in the center of the massive cell. The five giant berserkers, the Blood Hounds, stood around him. They were no longer chained. They wore thick iron armor made specially for their massive bodies. They carried giant steel axes and heavy spiked clubs. They looked like monsters ready for war.Riven pulled his dark gray mask up over his scarred face. His broken arm was strapped tightly to his chest. His good right hand held his poisoned, curved blade."We leave now," Riven whispered. His cold voice echoed off the stone walls. "We ride west. We will burn every tree and smash every rock until we find the merchant."The five giants roared loudly. They banged their heavy weapons against their steel shields. They were ready to kill.Suddenly, the heavy iron door of the dungeon burst open.A young royal messenger ran into the room. He was out of breath. His face was pale, and his legs were shaking terribly. He stopped when he saw the giant, scary berserkers staring at him with hun
CHAPTER 92
The dark dirt tunnel was cold and completely silent.Water dripped slowly from the low dirt ceiling, hitting the puddles on the floor with quiet, echoing splashes. The air smelled of wet rocks and old mud.Yuchen walked at the front while Seraphina walked close behind him. She kept her hand against the cold dirt wall to balance herself. The dark tunnel was narrow, forcing them to walk in a single straight line."How much further?" Seraphina whispered. Her voice echoed slightly in the small space. "The air is getting very thin down here. I can barely breathe.""My internal system clock indicates we have been walking for exactly forty-two minutes," Yuchen replied flatly. He did not turn his head. "The miner stated the underground river was at the end of this path. The humidity in the air is currently rising by twelve percent. We are getting very close to the water.""I cannot wait to see the sky again," Seraphina said, letting out a long, tired breath. "Even a gray sky is better than th
CHAPTER 91
The morning sun was completely hidden behind thick, gray clouds. The dirt road was dry, dusty, and endless.Yuchen walked at a steady, mechanical pace. He kept his dark brown cloak pulled tightly around his shoulders. His dark sunglasses hid his glowing golden eyes. He held a large, old paper map in his hands, staring at the faded ink lines.Seraphina walked beside him. She was wearing a simple brown traveler's cloak over her silver-mithril armor. Her silver hair was tied back. The deep cut above her eye was healing, but a fresh pink scar remained."We have been walking in a complete circle for four hours, Yuchen," Seraphina said, crossing her arms. She let out a long, heavy sigh. "I know this forest. My father’s kingdom, the Silver Domain, is supposed to be right past these hills. But the hills keep changing shape."Yuchen did not look up from the map. "Your father’s kingdom is protected by ancient magical illusion barriers, client. Normally, a standard navigation compass could bypas
CHAPTER 90
The wind roared like a dying monster in Riven’s ears.He was falling. The massive, golden blast of pure magic had thrown him completely off the high cliff. The pitch-black darkness of the night swallowed him whole. Freezing rain whipped against his face.His brain worked with cold, calculated speed, even as he fell to his death. He was the leader of the Silent Vipers. He did not die easily.Riven twisted his body in the air. He ignored the terrible burning pain in his chest from Yuchen’s magic blast. He raised his right arm. He pressed a hidden button on his leather wristband.THWIP.A long, thin steel wire shot out from his wrist. The sharp metal hook at the end of the wire flew through the dark and wrapped tightly around a massive, thick tree root sticking out of the rocky cliff wall.The wire pulled completely tight.The sudden, violent stop nearly ripped Riven’s arm right out of its socket. He screamed in pure agony as his shoulder dislocated with a loud, wet popping sound. But th
CHAPTER 89
The entire roof of the cliffside inn was completely gone. Cold wind howled violently through the broken wooden walls. Lightning flashed in the dark sky, casting scary, jagged shadows across the destroyed floorboards.In the center of the broken room, Yuchen lay flat on his back. He was completely motionless. The massive burst of golden magic had drained everything from his body. His dark sunglasses were cracked and pushed up on his forehead. His skin was pale like a dead man.Bzzzt. Bzzzt.A tiny, flickering blue light appeared right next to Yuchen’s ear. It was Taion. But Taion did not look normal. The tiny thing was completely transparent, glitching badly, and crying."Yuchen! Wake up! Please wake up!" Taion screamed, his tiny voice crackling with static. "Your mana core is completely empty! The system is crashing! Error! Error! Auto-recovery is failing! You have to wake up!"Yuchen did not open his eyes. His lips moved very slowly. He was just mumbling completely broken words."Acc
CHAPTER 88
The night was pitch black. A heavy, freezing rain began to fall, washing the blood from Yuchen’s leg but making the dirt roads incredibly slippery.They ran for hours. They did not speak. They did not stop to drink water. They knew exactly who was chasing them. The Silent Vipers were the ultimate trackers. They could follow a single drop of blood or a crushed blade of grass for hundreds of miles.Seraphina’s lungs burned. Her legs felt like heavy lead. But every time she felt like collapsing, she looked at Yuchen. He was limping terribly. The poison was making his skin pale and cold. Yet, he kept pushing forward, completely refusing to quit. She tightened her grip around his waist, holding him up."We need a secure location," Yuchen finally gasped, leaning heavily against a wet oak tree. His system was flashing red constantly in the corner of his vision. "My physical stamina is sitting at four percent. The poison is overriding my healing algorithms.""There," Seraphina pointed through
